The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, emphasized that not all migrants who come from being in Guantánamo, a U.S. military base in Cuban territory, are criminals.

“The majority are citizens who only committed the crime of going to the United States without documents,” Cabello said during the program Sin Truco Ni Maña broadcast by Radio Nacional de Venezuela (RNV).

He explained that the Bolivarian Government sent fingerprints and the people who were getting on the plane “had their fingerprints taken” and when they arrived in Venezuela they already had their full review, “with a thorough review” of all the security agencies.

He explained that, then, each case that requires it is passed on to the appropriate person: the Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations Corps (CICPC), the General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM) or the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN).

He asserted that some, just because they had tattoos on their bodies and faces as a Latino, were captured and sent to Guantánamo, “that's the crime” and with that they already said they belonged to a gang.

“You see their faces and they are the children of this country, we are Venezuelans and we always treat people well and for them who come from a center 'hell” and being greeted with a 'pa' lante millet 'fills them with a lot of hope,” he said.

He also added that all the Venezuelans who arrived in the Plan Back to the Fatherland who were in the United States were brought to the door of their homes.
